Product Introduction:

Periodate Solution, 0.5% is a strong oxidant that can oxidize 1,2-ethanediol groups in sugars and related substances, turning them into dialdehydes. Aldehydes can combine with Schiff reagent to form a fuchsin compound, producing a purple red color.

This product is a glycogen or glycoprotein staining auxiliary reagent, commonly used for PAS staining pre-treatment. It is suitable for most paraffin and frozen sections. If treat cultured cells for oxidation, the processing time should be shortened or diluted before use. This product is a low concentration formula with a wider oxidation time range than Periodate Solution, 1%, making it easier to control the degree of oxidation.
